WAC 308-56A-110. New vehicles—Manufacturer's statement/certificate of origin

(1) What ownership documentation from the manufacturer is required to title a new vehicle? An application for a certificate of ownership for a new vehicle must be accompanied by a manufacturer's statement/certificate of origin (MSO/MCO). (2) What information needs to be shown on the MSO/MCO? The MSO/MCO must contain at least the following information: (a) First conveyance of the vehicle after its manufacture; (b) The model year; (c) Make; (d) Model, body style; (e) Vehicle identification number; (f) An indication that the vehicle was not manufactured for road use, if applicable; and (g) Shipping weight or curb weight. (3) What documentation may be used in lieu of an MSO/MCO? If the MSO/MCO is not available, the manufacturer's invoice to the dealer may be used. The manufacturer's invoice shall contain all the information required in subsection (2) of this section. If a flooring agent is shown on the invoice, the department requires a release of interest from the flooring agent. (4) How is a dealer-to-dealer sale recorded on the MSO/MCO before the first retail sale? A dealer-to-dealer sale is recorded in the assignment area on the MSO/MCO. In the absence of an available assignment area a dealer to dealer report of sale or similar document may be used as long as a complete chain of ownership is documented from the original dealer named on the MSO/MCO through the retail selling dealer making the application.
